  1. Cost on Intel's Haswell Chips Pushing Windows RT Into Oblivion · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Isn't one of ARM's advantages cost?

  2. Zimmerman Telgram on US Intercepts Iranian Order For Attack On US Embassy In Iraq · · Score: 2

    No idea if it's legitimate or not, but the Zimmerman Telegram was the first thing that came to mind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimmermann_Telegram

  3. No! on Building Melts Car · · Score: 4, Funny

    Dammit, I told them to angle the mirrored glass like I said! Parliament should be in flames and now the authorities have been alerted. They've failed me for the last time!

  4. Psychological Fitness on Pastafarian Wins Battle To Wear Colander In License Photo · · Score: 5, Funny

    Of course he is psychologically fit, the pasta strainer will shield his brain from the orbital mind control lasers.

  5. Re:Numbering .. on Nintendo Announces 2DS Handheld — Plays 3DS Games In 2-D · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's a sequence. What is the next number in the sequence? 1,3,2... the correct answer is 4. From this we can deduce that Nintendo has a 4 dimensional game device in the works, and that it will require inter-dimensional space travel to play.

  6. Yahoo Games on Yahoo! Sports Redesign Sparks Controversy, Disdain From Users · · Score: 1

    Years ago they revamped yahoo games, shifted to Flash based board games, destroyed all my games history in Backgammon, Dominoes, Gin, and Poker, and I never really went back.

  7. Visualizing on NASA Visualizes Asteroid Grab Mission · · Score: 1, Funny

    NASA Visualizes Asteroid Grab Mission, I visualize replay of Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. Houston, we have a problem.

  8. Don't worry about the Government on NSA Officers Sometimes Spy On Love Interests · · Score: 4, Funny

    Don't worry about the government spying on you, it may just be that special someone listening to all your calls.

  9. Steve Ballmer on Solar Eruption To Reach Earth Soon · · Score: 1

    And it happens at the same time that Steve Ballmer announces retirement. And people say Astrology is crap.

  10. Oakland on How Oakland Is Turning Into an Art and Maker Mecca · · Score: 1

    Maybe they can make some affordable housing, seem to be alot of accusations of gentrification when I read about Oakland.

  11. Working Hard on What's Causing the Rise In Obesity? Everything. · · Score: 1

    Working hard to keep up the trend of obesity, sitting here eating a tub of lard and drinking a Coke, watching TV.

  12. Success on Ubuntu Edge Now Most-Backed Crowdfunding Campaign Ever · · Score: 1

    While it seems unlikely now that Ubuntu will get to the 32 million mark, and will have to refund the money given, they may have just demonstrated that there is some demand for a dual booting phone with more of the features of a PC. Canonical needs a dance partner to sell Ubuntu on a mobile platform, maybe one of the smartphone manufacturers will take notice. If that happens, the campaign may be a success after all.

  13. Feature on Google Glass Integration For Cars Is Coming: Neat Idea Or Crazy Town? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Now you can launch yourself through the windshield directly into the virtual world of Google Glass. My first adware app for Google Glass will simulate a Mac truck approaching your car, right on your windshield. The driver's instinct will be to swerve off the road, right into the gas stations that pay me for this amazing new form of advertising.

  14. Quote from the story on NSA Broke Privacy Rules Thousands of Times Per Year, Audit Finds · · Score: 1

    “You look at a number in absolute terms that looks big, and when you look at it in relative terms, it looks a little different.” I guess this means, if you look at it from the relative perspective of how many people we spy on, over 2000 isn't really that great a number.

  15. 3 frightening words on NSA Broke Privacy Rules Thousands of Times Per Year, Audit Finds · · Score: 4, Insightful

    broad new powers

  16. Inspiration on Transport Expert Insists 'Don't Dismiss Wacky Hyperloop' · · Score: 1

    I'm using this as inspiration for my new transit technology: giant rubber band sling.

  17. Orange on Unlocked Firefox OS ZTE Open Is Now Available On eBay For For $80 · · Score: 1

    I'm ordering 4, only because they are orange. And I like HTML5.

  18. Been there on How Much Should You Worry About an Arctic Methane Bomb? · · Score: 1

    Just had one after lunch. Pew.

  19. FANTASTIC on Why You Shouldn't Trust Internet Comments · · Score: 1

    Probably one of the best stories EVAR posted in the history of Slashdot, superb! 5/5 stars! My friends and I all read the story at work, then we ordered Chinese Food. The food arrived SOOPER early and was delicious. The Orange Beef and Sweet and Sour Chicken were DELICIOUS! I should know, I own the restaurant I'm posting this for on Yelp!

  20. Sony on Want To Record Xbox One Gameplay? Get Ready To Pay · · Score: 1

    Sony, of course, rushed to remind the public that their video streaming and video share feature will be free. Sony's strategy seems obvious, when Microsoft announces a restrictive (used games) or $$$ oriented policy, Sony gets a free PR bon-bon by reminding everyone about their new PS4. Can Microsoft really not see one move ahead on the chess board?

  21. Innovation on New Android App Encourages Users To Throw Device As High As Possible · · Score: 1

    This is an innovative way to sell more devices. As it turns out, the App was written by a consortium of companies: Samsung, HTC, LG, and Motorola.

  22. The harvest on FBI Pressures Internet Providers To Install Surveillance Software · · Score: 3, Funny

    The "harvesting program" brought in a bumper crop of civil liberties this year.

  23. Yes, it is illegal to track a person without permission from the authorities, but there is no law against tracking the property of a company, such as a SIM card, and since there is still Soviet law in Russia, there is in fact no property at all except property owned by companies, so no citizen owns any property, and all property is owned by foreign owned companies under laws governing their property, and all people do not own their smartphones, and everything can be tracked on their smartphone. Yes.

  24. Union of Concerned Scientists on Fukushima Decontamination Cost Estimated $50bn, With Questionable Effectiveness · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Saw Edwin Lyman from the Union of Concerned Scientists several times on the TV after the disaster. He used it as an opportunity to call attention to regulation and safety procedures for reactors in the United States. He said current evacuation procedures for evacuation zones for nuclear reactors were insufficient. Physicians for Social Responsibility have a useful map for checking your proximity to a nuclear reactor http://www.psr.org/resources/evacuation-zone-nuclear-reactors.html From their site, "Current NRC regulations stipulate a 10 mile evacuation zone around nuclear plants. This is clearly insufficient and 50 miles has been recommended." They also note that 1/3 of all Americans live within 50 miles of a reactor.

  25. As a Rule of Thumb on Maneuvering Continues For Control of Dell · · Score: 1

    I am usually skeptical when people want to take a company away from the person who founded it. For more fun stories about private equity, look here http://www.dailyfinance.com/2012/12/15/dividend-recaps-how-private-equity-is-sucking-the-life-out-of-g/
